There is a huge list of minor bugs and issues fixed in this release. The 'headline' changes for this release are:

PEP 328, absolute and relative imports, has been implemented

PEP 302, new import hooks, has been implemented

Numerous Python dictionary improvements

‘sys’ is now a real builtin module

Test projects for IronPython .NET (ClrAssembly) and COM interop (DlrComLibrary) support have been added to the ‘Src\Tests’ directory within the source zip file

More improvements to the –X:PreferComDispatch flag

If you were missing the fantastic DLRConsole demo for the new Silverlight 2 release, then good news. Yesterday 'the team' (actually Jimmy Schementi I think - who is one of the few IronPython devs who isn't at PyCon) uploaded an updated version to the Dynamic Silverlight site: DLRConsole Demo for Silverlight 2.
